The Apollo Saxophone Quartet collaborated with the Goldberg Ensemble (strings, directed by Malcolm Layfield) to premiere 'Convergence', a virtuosic work written by the amazing composer/bass player Barry Guy. These were the first gigs that Carl Raven had played with the ASQ, and he did a brilliant job! A CD recording of 'Convergence' is planned for 2007/08.

May and June saw a series of about ten gigs for my jazz funk group DB5+Laura. It's always a pleasure working with these fine musicians, and in the five years that the group has been operating we're getting to know each others playing pretty well. The group sounds like an ensemble of listening musicians, not six individuals. We're not trying to take over the world, far from it, rather making music as well as we can, whether it's with our own compositions or arrangements of other peoples music. Every gig I learn something with these musicians as I try and move into a musical period of my life where I can hopefully put some hard work into improving as an improvising musician.
